THE ELECTION FOR GOVERNOR
A» yet we have received but meagre ac
counts of the election that took place last
Wednesday in this State for Governor. We
have, however, received intelligence suffi
cient to warrant the belief that Governor
Brown is elected over both his opponents,
not though by as large a majoi ity as we hop
ed lit would be. The vote for Mr. Hill has
surprised us, and the vjle for Mr. Furlow is
about as we expected it would be. Iu re
gard to the vote for Mr. Hill, a cotempcra-
ry, the “ Sumter Republican ” remarks that
it “is quite significant, and clearly indicates
the complete organise Uion of the old co-op
eration party. The secessionists of tee
county, (we will aid, the State,) were -divid
ed between Major Furrow and Governor
Brown, neither of whom, we venture to say }
received the vote of a co-operationist. Ai
any rate, we venture the assertion that no
man who opposed the war before its inaugu
ration, and would now see it settled upon
any other basis than our complete independ
ence, voted for Major Furlow.” The “lie
publican” might have added here, with
equal truth, or for Governor Brown; but wo
must not digress. That paper goes on to say-
“ the issue then lias been made, and a party
organized who.se purpose is to proscribe
men who were in favor of the secession of
Georgia from the hated Union with a 1 ace
who are now seeking to subjugate and de
stroy us. VVe iial hoped that such would
not be the c ise. As it has been made, how-„
ever, let the responsibility rest wbeie it be
longs; let it bo known who has refused to
bury the tomahawk and scalping-knife of
political animosity; or if it were ever buried,
who has exhumed it and are striving to dis
tract the councils of a free people engaged
in a death struggle for liberty.”
At this point in our State, it required but
little sagacity, a few days before the election,
to arrive at the conclusion which our cotem-
porary at Americas has now come to. With
but few exceptions indeed, the old co-opera
tion party of the State is now at war upon
the original secessionists, its prominent lea
der, Mr. B. II. Hill, being again in the lead.
Forewarned, we would have been forearmed
for such a c mtlict, a nd the result would
have been different iu this—there would
have been no conflict between Mr. Furlow’s
friends and those of Gov. Brown. The
game, however, that has been played so se
cretly and so warily, has not been, thanks
to the patriotism of the people of Georgia
and Georgians in the army, a successful
one; and it now only remains for that over
whelming majority of our people, in whose
power it is to crush down the leaders of such
an organization, to unite and resolutely do
so at the polls, in ail f uture elections.
From the returns received of the Govcr
nor’s election, which we publish in our first
. edition of this issue, it will be seen that Gov
ernor Brown leads his two opponents 5,17
votes. It may be proper for us here to state,
that as in Cherokee, so it is in many other
•ounties of our State—the “stay-at-Jumss,'
the“co-operationists,” and “croakers," giving
majorities for Mr. Hill, while their sons,and
brothers, and fathers, constituting the ma
jority, were voting lor Brown or Furlow in
the army. *

THE

ELECTIONS FOR MEMBERS OF

Until the vote of the Army, with only a
few exceptions, has been received at the
seat of Government, it w ill be impossible to
give any accurate list of^e members of
Congress or members of the General Assem
bly elected on Wednesday last. In most
cases the army vote determines who are
elected, and w r e are truly gratified that it
has to do so. We shall make arrange
ments to get correct returns from Milledg-
ville as soon as possible, and will then pub
lish accurate lists. Under this state of
things our readers, we trust, will patiently
wait for election news.

A CONTRADICTION.
Some days ago, we published the follow
iug “ anecdote,” which was communicated
to us by a highly respectable gentleman, os
it was related to him when on a visit recent
ly, to Geu. Bragg’s army:
Application for leave of absence in Gen.
W. H. T. Walker’s division of Gen. Hill’s
corps. Walker endorsed the application
“disapproved, but respectfully forwarded to
headquarters of Gen. 1). H. Hill.”
Geu. Hill endorsed it “ approved, upon the
ground that the brave men of the army
should be permitted to go home whenever
practicable ; otherwise all the children to be
born during the war and the usual period
afterwards will be the offspring of the cow
ards at home who have substitutes and are
otherwise exempt” Gen. Walker, upon the
return of the application, cheerfully with
drew his disapproval and permitted the brave
soldier to go home.
We are now assured by Gen. Walker that
there is a mistake in regard to the use of Gen.
Walker's name in connection with the afore
said incident, which we are certain our
correspondent will, as wo do, regret—Gen.
Walker not being a party at all to the inci-
lent as related.
We publish Gen. Walker’s note to us:
Iu Camps, near Chattanooga,)
- Oct. 9, 1803. j
To Editor of the Atlanta Intelligencer:
Sir—Having seen iu your paper the fol
lowing piece, allow me, in the most positive
and unequivocal manner, to deny that my
name was ever connected, directly, or indi
rectly, with the case in point. Such a pa
per was never submitted to me and the sen
timents could never by any possibility meet
with mv approbation.
Very respectfully,
Your obe’t servant,
. W. H. T. WALKER.
2SP~Since penning the foregoing, we are
informed by thebest authority that the charge
in the Raleigh Progress of Gen. Benning be
ing privy to the sackmg of. the Standard of
fice is a base falsehood, as that gentleman
was sleeping when the act took place.—At
lanta Intelligencer.
Gen. Benning was ia Raleigh that night,
and on the street not more than an hour be
fore the mob took place. Will he say on his
honor, over his own name, that he did not
have any reason to apprehend teat our
offleo would be assailed that by a por
tion of his troops? And if he really
entertained this apprehension, was it not
his duty to see that no such thing
was done? A police officer was sent
to him at the depot to inform him of the out
rage by a portion of his troops, but the offi
cer was repulsed and not allowed to see him
—R Heigh Sta ndard.
What we asserted above we repeat, that
the assertion of Gen. Benning’s knowing
anything of his men intending to sack the
Standard office is a base falsehood, and we
have the assurance of the Geneial himself to
tnat effect, and furthermore, that the
sacking of the Standard office was
done by a party of North Carolinians, who
had been detailed from Gen. Lee’s army to
arrest deserters, and who seduced the Geor
gians into joining them. Of this the Gen
eral was not aware until after the sacking
was committed, and the soldiers had return,
ed to the errs; wlieu-the North Carolinians,
in the presence and hearing of the General,
boasted of what they had done. This is
the plain and unvarnished story of the affair
as it came to Gen. Benning’s knowledge,and
we do not deem it necessary for that gentle
man to publish any card “over his own
name" to satisfy the Rdeign Standard or
“any other man.”
A CARD OF THANKS.

of indigent soldiers’ families In this city.
From Dr. W. H. Prichard, of this city,

The New York Courier des Etats Unis
gives a positive and apparently authoritative
denial to the rumor of the intention of Na
poleon to recogniz3 the Confederacy,
RETICENCE-ARMY MATTERS AND THE
PRESS.
Editors Intelligencer:
In your issue of to-day I notice a commu
nication under the caption of “Reticence,”
with a few introductory remarks calling the
attention of your cotemporaries of the press
to the subject matter. As the relations be
tween the army and the press are of a pecu
liar and delicate nature, I beg leave to tres
pass on your columns for the purpose of
presenting n few remarks on the subject. .
No one can recognise more frefly or fully
than I do, the necessity of withholding from
publication information that may give aid or
comfort to the common enemy; and it is not
that I take issue with the gentleman who
calls upon the press to be reticent on that
point, but to assist in pointing out the prac
tical way of attaining the general wish.
It is a matter of record since printing first
became an art, that no power is more diffi
cult to control than that of the pre$3, and it
has ever eluded all direct attempts to coerce
it. With this recorded experience, we are
in more danger of failing in the attainment
of the common desire, by the adoption of
inadequate mealls, than from the wan t of a
right disposition on the part of the editorial
profession.
My official relations with every daily jour
nal in the Southern Confederacy have im
pressed me with the conviction that there is
not one among them whose editors are not
animated by the same desire to shield Gur
holy cause.
In this state of things, the comtemplation
of measures of a suppressive or coercive
character, is not only unnecessary, but is
unworthy of a free people; a free govern
ment and a free press. Yet I am pained to
say that my expeiience in practice, has im
pressed me with the conviction, that gentle
men are not wanting who would resort to
these unworthy means, if the opportunity
were afforded them. It is to enable all to
avoid these, that I trespass now upon your
space, for the purpose of making a fe\V sug
gestions as to the practical manner of attain
ing the common wish.
In one word, this will be best found iu co
operation between commanders and the
agents of the Press. The Fress of the Con
federate States presents a spectacle which
has never before been witnessed iu any
country, or at any time. It has given to its
self an organized form, with a representative
government, and voluntarily subjected its
self to rules and regulations for the common
good. It has appointed its own agents and
reporters at every scene of general interest,
and has placed these under strict supci vision
and control That it may be seen how iden
tical are the views of the Press Association
with those of the writer, whose counsel you
recommend to your cotemporaricI cite
here the 7th clause of the code of instruc
tions to Press reporters, and the rec o rumen
dations of “ In for the War.”
The latter says:
The names of general officers; allusions
to corps, divisions and brigades.; airival of
troops; transfer of tbe same,their position,
strength and composition, movements of
cavalry. In short, whatever would interest
us in regard to the Yankees will of course
interest them ia regard to us, and should be
suppressed.
Seventh clause ol ; nstntcsions to Press
Reporters:
The military exigencies of the country re
quire that the greatest caution shall be ex
ercised in reporting the movements of troops,
or of generals commanding, and on these
points the wishes and views of the com
manding general, or his adjutant general,
must be consulted and.respected As a gen
eral thing, it is better never to report
changes of position of on*- forces or of com
mander?.
Here it is seen that the Press has present
ed the practical means for doing what “Iu
for the War” recommends should be done.
It has voluntarily 'placed its news reports
of army matters, under stiict supervision by
the commanders respectively, and if those
would come to entertain a more just view
than is held by some of them, of their rela
tions to the Press, and place themselves more
m accord with its representatives and agents
words of caution as to “Reticence” would be
found to be entirely unnecessary.
I do not hesitate to say.that wherever tnis
accord does exist, a31 a n hv>ny to acknowl
edge it does in many of the military depart
ments, the commanders have seldom i,‘ ever
found reason to complain of the Press. The
authorized telegraphic reports of the Press
Association, transmitted simultaneously to
every Daily journal in the Confederacy, have
superseded and rendered stale and unprofit
able news correspondence through other
channels relative to army matters. - It is on
ly where these authorized news reports have
not been permitted that a field has been op
ened for other, and perhaps injudicious, la
bors.
As the complement, therefore, to the re
commendations of your eorrrspmdeaL to the
Press, will you permit me to recall to mili
tary commanders, and officials generally, the
fact that the Press has presented to them the
best, and in truf U the only p actical, way to
secure reticence in matters that should not
be presented to the public eye. The people
do not desire the publication of improper
news; the press does not wish to see it in
its columns; and a moderate degree of offi
cial and confidential intercourse between
Commanders and the representatives of the
Press, will do more to secure the universally
desired end, than any other measure that
can be adopted. Respectfully, Yours,
J. S. THRASHER,
Superintendent Press Association.
Atlanta, October 10,1803.

the Capes, it then blowing hard from east
northeast. The negro cook of the House
man was killed by the raiders. It appears
that he attempted to escape, jumping over
board and swimming for his life; but un
fortunately for the poor fellow, they fired
upon him, and his courage failing, he re
turned. They then shot him and threw him
overboard, sinking him with a bar of pig
iron. One of the captured crew piloted
the vessels out. The crews were all taken,
it is supposed, to Richmond.
Capt. Townsend, assisted by his crew, got
off the Schooner Alexander, and she was
brought to the city.
General News.—France.—Napoleon
III. seldom hurries events; he waits till they
ripen. The recognition of this Confederacy
and its alliance with France are amongst
those results whose maturity he has beeu
watching, and it would seem, from several
indications, that they arc nearly ready for
the gathering. The Archduke Maximilian
awaits the Mexican commissioners to an
nounce his formal acceptance of the impe
rial crown of Mexico; the Count Montho-
lon, once French consul in Richmond, more
lately Consul General at New York, goes
out as first French minister; he has declared
himself strongly in favor ol the recognition
and allianoe. The Constitutionnel, which
is a journal more than semi-official, has au
elaborate article demonstrating the right of
our Florida to be admitted into a French
port for repairs; and further showing, by
the authority of all maritime law, that our
Confederate ships of war have a right to
burn their prizes so long as the ports of oth
er nations are not open to them for the sale
of those prizes. The next step must be to
open the ports of France for that purpose
also; and then will come the day for our
Virginia volunteer navy. The Journal des
Debats, a Paris newapaper decidedly hostile
to us, says there remains “ ho doubt” either
in Paris or New Yorrk, “that the new gov
ernment of Mexico will hasten to recognize
the Confederacy, on condition that Mexico,
in her turn, is also recognized.—Richmond
Enquirer.
Trans Mississippi.—A gentleman lately
from Shreveport informs us that Gen. Price
is falling back iu the direction of that town
and that Steele and Blunt’s forces in Arkan
sas are set down at 30,000.
He also ttates that Gen. Richard Taylor is
slowly retreating from Alexandria, in the
direction of Shreveport, before Banks’ army.
Banks advanced from New Orleans in three
columns—one by way of the Opelousas Rails
road and Brashear City; a second across
Lake Charles; the third by the mouth of
Red River. His entire force is estimated at
35,000.
The enemy had fallen back from Monroe,
and our people are in possession.
The Yankee gunboat Rattler, two weeks
ago, went to St. Joseph, La., on the Mis
sissippi, and destroyed every boat and fiat
in the neighborhood, except one belonging
to some negroes, who were in the habit of
trading with the Yankees. Our pickets
fired on her from this side of the l iver, and
she fired only one shell in reply.
Shreveport is very strongly fortified—the
negroes being still at work on the defences.
Everything is quiet in Texas. It is re
ported and currently believed that 35,000
French troops are now in Matamoras.—Mo

^ITRAYED off
The War.—The news from various quar
ters conenr ia stating that Meade has been
stripped of two army corps, bat has been
reinforced by conscripts and weakened by a
steady stream of deserters. It id the belief
that movements are about to take place on
the Rapidan.
It is not imprudent to say, as the news is
already known to the enemy, that Gen.- Lee
was crossing the Rapidan yesterday. Gen.
Ewell began the movement. Meade was
supposed to be retiring. »t is supposed by
most that Meade will retire beyond the Rap
pahannock before giving battle, if at ali.
We shall have plenty of rumors now—one
already afloat is, that the enemy are landing
a force at the White House.—Rich. Sentinel,
Qthinst.
It is treason now at the North to wish for
“ the Union as it was.” That article seems
to be very far below par. Vice-President
Hamlin, in a speech at Philadelphia last
week, gave the views of the Adminis!ration
on the subject:—Rich. Dispatch.
Well, we have a class of men theic who
very much want “ the Constitution as it is
and the Union as it was.” {Laughter.]
Have you got them here ? [Crie3 of “ Yes,”
laughter anti cheers.] Well, sir, I have found
them ali round. I am very sorry, indeed,
that they cannot have it. [Laughter.] There
is no possible way in which they can have
it. Why, it is mere demagogueism; it is the
merest clap-trap, it is nonsense, and not very
good nonsense at tliab. [Laughter and
cheers.] “The Union as it was!” That
means to bring back the States in precisely
the same condition they were in when the
rebellion was inaugurated.
How are you going to get Missouri back
so? The people of that State have, unsolic
ited and uninterfered with by any power, in
augurated a system of measures for the
emancipation of slaves. How are you go
ing to get it back as it was ? These people
want to have the Union as it was! And
what are you going to do with that little
State nestled in Western Virginia, formed by
loyal men, which has adopted a series of
measures to rid itself of slavery ? How arc
you to get it back as it was, I should like to
know ? [Cheers. J I know they mourn over
it, and regret their inability to bring back the
Union as it was. Now if there are any men
in your goodly city of New York who have
any tears do shed over such a result, I am
half inclined to think they must be crocko-
dile tears,—but if they are not, and you have
got those *who have tears to shed tor “the
Union as it was”—I think it would form a
good subject for a sketch. Place in the fore
ground a slave, with his manacles stricken
off, clothed in tbe uniform of Uncle* Sam,
and a musket ia his hands, to. sustain the
Union, the glorious Stars and Stripes float
ing over it he had; while in the remote back
er mu ds and a modern Democrat,with large
tears rolling down his cheeks, big as turnips,
because he c mnot have the Union as it was.
[Laughter and cheers.] And, if you can find
an impressible Copperhead woman, I should
paint her in the attitude of reaching him a
crash towel to wipe away his tears. [Loud
laughter and applause.]
THE LATE RAID ON VE3SELS ON THE EASTER N
SHORE OF VIRG INIA
Capt Townsend, of the schooner David
C. Foster, which arrived at New York on
Thursday, gives the following account of
the capture oi vessels in Watchaprigue
Inlet, on the Eastern Shore of Virginia* a
few days since:
A party of rebels—twenty-five in number
—acijng on information furnished them, as
is supposed, by a Mr. Cobb, of Sands Shoal,
made a sudden attack upon several small
ve-sols, lying for the night in Watchaprigue
Inle ., on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, cap
turing five of them. These were the
schooners Ireland, Davis, John J. House
man, the Alexander, and the Govern ment
schooner Alliance, the latter loaded with
supplies to the value of $30,0CD. The raiders
pulled into Hogg’s Island, but were pre-
Gone to Grass.—The Yankee papers
state that “ Brig. Gen. Robert Anderson, U.
S. Army, has been ordered before the Army
Retiring Board, and it is expected that he
will be retired from active service, as since
the bombardment, of Fort Sumter, in 1861,
he has not been equal to the fatigue and ex
citement incidental to service in the field.”

No, we wlil not deplore thee, for thy pure brave fpirit
now chants pe&ns of joy In that great borne where there
Is no oppression, no sorrow, no dream of care. Re sleeps
among onr conn try’s countless honored dead, the brave-
est of the brave. He gave bis young life a sacrifice to
his bleeding country. His patriotism was of that pure,
high character that led him to enter the service when t e
could honorably have stayed at home. But no! he gave
up his parental home, bid adie to his kind mother and
loving sister j, and bared that noble breast to tbe storm.
Yes he felt the tyrant’s heel upon his native land, and
with a proul shout of defiance, he leaped to arms and
fonght as only the patriot can fight. No craven heart
was his, and when the shock came he was ever at the
breach among his comrades. He'was loved for his bravi
tj and unwavering kindness. In him the sick found ever
a kind and attentive nurse—the well a joyous company.
We feel that these that die in-hh country’s defence die a 8
the righteous dieth, and when the trumpet of doom sound
hia awakening, his triumphant spirit will wake to joy, to
await the coming of those dear ones left behind. Moth,
er, sisters and brothers treasure up the life of thy brave
aonr and brother as a .golden example, and prepare to
meet him to enjoy the happy fruition of bliss that awaits
you.. John was a great soldier. Peace to Irs noble oust.
